Photographer's Note

America goes to the polls today and the eyes of the world look on, will we see "Change" or is there still a long way to go?

In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way.
But where the president, is never black, female or gay, and until that day,
you've got nothing to say to me, to help me believe

Hello Elaine,
This is a superb composition, with the zebra crossing making the perspective towards the seat of power look even longer. I thought until recently that things couldn't get any worse than during the eight last years, with the US going against the rest of the world in all possible ways, but now I find the prospect of a female president in the next year or two absolutely terrifying. So let's hope for a black, male president this time.
Regards,
Gert

The use of the crossing lines are an excellent idea to optimize the sense of depth, and metaphorically, of distance to the emblematic structure. A well composed image in natural tones. The pedestrians enhance the effect and completes the image well.

Creative and artistic way to do this one Elaine. Very effectful and fun result of the low pov.. good one.
..and yes, the right man won (as seen from the outside world). Now all that remains is to learn if we was right or not ;-)
